Butler’s Seven Points for Consideration NVMT (2017): 1. Aimtomakeneurodynamicscentralandessen8altoNeurology
-Goal:toprovidemechanicallypermissiblemovement2. Biopsychosocialconsidera8ons

RecentFindingsandMyNeurodynamicStory
• Novel method for neural marking (lumbar roots) that spared foraminal ligaments
• Computer digitization and analysis: --L4, L5, S1 move less than
previously reported (Smith & Massie, 1993)
--Relatively large SLR ROM needed to provide lumbar root displacement
--SLR NPP moved more than SLR DF
--distal initiation (DF) may increase strain
• SLR NPP and SLR DF are useful clinical tools that provide displacement and strain to the lumbar roots.
• Clinicalapplica8onofULNTTisnotlimitedtothebrachialplexusorwithinupperextremity.
